Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 261

The news of the establishment of the Eastern European Central Bank has only been popular for a week, and it was immediately robbed of the limelight by another shocking news. Thousands of miles away in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait, a small Middle Eastern country that guards Iraq’s access to the sea, broke down in negotiations with neighboring Iraq on the oil issue, causing a catastrophe. Because of the huge debts owed by the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq has almost become the poorest country in the Middle East. The weapons debt owed to the United States and the Soviet Union alone is as high as 40 billion U.S. dollars. Now the Soviet government is also facing serious economic problems. It is no longer a strategic choice of the Soviet government, so forcing debts to Iraq has become a helpless choice of the Soviet government.

Faced with a huge debt of up to 70 billion, the Iraqi government, which has spent all its foreign exchange reserves, has only two choices left, either to sell the oil fields that Iraq depends on for survival to foreign capitalists in exchange for the support of foreign capital, or to choose to fall behind. Saddam naturally refuses to hand over domestic oil resources to the insatiable foreign capitalists, so he chose to reckless, but he dare not reckless against superpowers such as the United States and the Soviet Union. In the final analysis, he still has to choose soft and block. Kuwait, a small country at the mouth of Iraq, is naturally Saddam’s best choice.

Kuwait is one of the few rich countries in the world. Although the country is not large, its oil reserves are amazing, the extraction cost is low, and the oil quality is high. The most important thing is that Kuwait’s foreign exchange reserves are as high as 100 billion US dollars. The tens of billions of dollars in Western heavy industry stocks, not to mention the huge foreign exchange reserves, is more than enough to repay the US and Soviet weapons debts.

The evil-spirited Iraq simply did not stop doing two things, launched an offensive without warning, and occupied the entire territory of Kuwait in just one day. Prince Fahd, the younger brother of the Kuwaiti Emir, was seriously injured in the battle. Five other royal family members died in the battle. The Emir himself led some of the royal family members to escape to Saudi Arabia. The weak Kuwait has little strength to fight back in front of the Iraqi army. Relying on one’s own strength to try to restore the country is simply wishful thinking. Not to mention a small Kuwait, even the hegemon of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, is not an opponent in front of the Iraqi army.

A negotiation on foreign debt has triggered a war. I am afraid that the Kuwaiti government is now even regretful. Both the Kuwaiti government and the Saudi government are now afraid that the Iraqi army will continue to go south and invade Saudi territory. For these wealthy Arab countries, the only hope at present is the United States. Only when the United States sends troops can Kuwait have the possibility of resuming the country.

Want the U.S. to send troops? How could it be so easy? How many Americans died in the Vietnam War, and how many years have passed since the Vietnam War? The people of the United States have not forgotten the grand anti-war situation of the whole people. Kuwait’s ambassador to the United States was quickly received by President Bush, and the two communicated about Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The United States promised to help Kuwait regain the country, but whether to send troops still needs to be approved by Congress. The Kuwaiti ambassador himself is a member of the royal family. Hearing this kind of perfunctory reply from the United States, he couldn’t help feeling a while.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Sergey Sha, but Sergey Sha was willing to put such a kick in it. Sergei knows that the United States will eventually choose to send troops, and this war will not sink the U.S. military in mud like the Vietnam War. Judging from the experience of the previous life, the first Gulf War was not difficult at all. However, the Americans have not yet realized their strength, and they do not know that they can completely rely on the Air Force to dominate the battle. Because before the emergence of the first Gulf War, military scientists in most countries in the world did not realize that the war could be determined by air power alone.

The United States is unwilling to send troops, and the biggest worry is that it is afraid that ground operations will cause large-scale American casualties. And the international risk consulting company established by Seriosha a few years ago has been in a state of loss because of no business. If the international risk company replaces the US military to help Kuwait win the war of restoration, then the international risk consulting company will definitely jump up. Become the world’s largest security company. In addition, international risk consulting companies can not only receive support from the United States, obtain large defense contracts from the United States government and the Kuwaiti government, but also obtain advanced American weapons. The most important thing is that Kuwait is located in the core area of ​​the Persian Gulf. The position is really important. Once the international risk consulting company can regain Kuwait in ground warfare, it will no longer be an extravagant desire to station a force in Kuwait under orders from Sergei. The Persian Gulf is an important route for oil transportation. Strengthening the military presence of the Gorky Group here is definitely a key move. More importantly, the United States will definitely believe that international risk consulting companies are safeguarding American interests.

After thinking about these key issues, Sergei Sha was tempted by the Kuwaiti royal family. How can this news be passed on to the President of the United States? Seleosa thought of Eva. Although Eva is a businessman, as the world’s richest man and a contractor of the Pentagon’s global satellite communications services, it would not be too much of a problem to introduce an international risk consulting company to the military. Moreover, Yuri and Ivankov, the bosses of the International Risk Consulting Company, are both diplomats of the Vatican and senior advisers of the new Polish government. Their background is impeccable. Americans will never know that the black hand behind it is actually the politics of the CPSU. The bureau member ~www.mtlnovel.com~Seleosa quickly put his plan in Yuri, Poland, and notified Eva to arrange the matter. Almost as soon as Yuri put down the phone, he immediately flew directly to Washington on a business jet from the Bank of Columbia. And Ivankov at the headquarters of the Juarez International Risk Consulting Company also asked his subordinates to formulate a bidding plan overnight. Yuri’s movements were very fast. It took him 10 hours to fly back to Washington from Warsaw. As soon as he got off the plane, he ran into Ivankov who had been waiting here for a long time.

Eva’s status in the business world has given her unparalleled influence. This influence is still effective even in Washington’s political circles. Ivankov and Yuri quickly received the Pentagon’s response to their international risks. The consulting company is very interested in the proposal of contracting Kuwait’s ground war, but the Kuwaiti side has reservations about it. However, the Kuwaiti ambassador has received a reply from the Emir and is willing to contact international risk consulting companies on cooperation matters.

Early the next morning, Yuri and Ivankov were introduced by Eva to the Pentagon in Arlington County and met the person in charge. Eva told Sergey Sha about the progress of the matter. Sergey Sha was not worried about whether the international risk consulting company could get the contract, because the plan he put forward was absolutely the most suitable at present. The United States only needs air strikes and ground operations. The matter is left to the international risk consulting company. Unless there is a crash, there will be no casualties in the United States. As for the war expenses, the wealthy Kuwait will pay this money. When that time, the international risk consulting company can definitely change the shotgun. Thank you. Liao Sha will not save Kuwait money.

However, it is better for the ward to look at Mark Rich of Glencore. Maybe Iraq will become Glencore’s second major customer after Iran. 18132
